Coronavirus: Major UK takeaway chains start to reopen
Three major takeaway chains in the UK have announced limited reopening programmes after closing during the coronavirus lockdown.
Staff will wear masks and gloves and will be trained in running delivery-only kitchens hygienically, the fast food chain said.The restaurants will also donate 1,000 meals per week to staff working at NHS hospitals in the vicinity of the reopened restaurants. The fast food chain says it has donated"thousands of meals from all our open restaurants to those on the frontline, including the NHS and key workers, in partnership with Deliveroo, and will continue to do so each week whilst the situation continues".
"We also saw the impact the situation is having on those who may not be able to easily get to the supermarkets, like key workers. There's a need for affordable, accessible food and we wanted to do our part." "We are incredibly grateful that 160 team members have volunteered to help reopen 10 shops in London, located close to hospitals."Food delivery firm Deliveroo has raised more than £1.5m from customer donations and corporate funding for free meals for NHS workers.
It added that it had also started to deliver food from stores including Morrisons, McColls, M&S and BP service stations.
